Static Wallpaper in Overview

a GNOME shell extension

Seeking maintainer

I don't have the time or drive to dive deep enough into GNOME to competently maintain this extension. Besides, I don't even use it myself anymore. If you're interested in taking over this project, my contact info is on my website: https://www.denizaksimsek.com/

In the overview, the wallpaper remains fullscreen and the workspaces have no individual background

The code of this extension is mostly extracted from Vertical Overview by Rens Althuis, retrieved 2021-12-21.

While I am used to the horizontally arranged workspaces of GNOME 40+, I quite liked the static wallpaper feature in Vertical Overview. I often use maximized windows on every workspace, so I don't have many chances to see my wallpaper.

Having been unable to find an extension that does that without touching the rest of the overview, I extracted the parts I wanted from Vertical Overview and touched up the animations a bit to create this extension.

gnome-static-background's Issues

Workspaces overview in app grid

Due to wallpaper is expanded in app grid, limit of workspaces is not defined. It looks a bit confusing.

My proposal is, if possible, set a border where the background was before, it looks a bit confusing.

Without static background:

windows manager lagging after some time of using this extension

When I use this extension I have problems with desktop environment lagging when doing things such as moving windows around or moving between screens.
These lags started happening once I updated gnome to version 42.
I'm sure that the issue is cause by this extensions, because it only happens when this extension is enabled.

Overview image messed up after connecting second display

When I start my laptop and afterwards connect an external display, the background image gets messed up.
When I start my laptop with a second display already connected, everything is as it is supposed to.

Bug:

This is how it is supposed to look like:

Love the extension by the way, thanks for your work.
